Abstract

This research aims to examine the correlation between digestible crude protein (DCP) and digestible crude fiber (DCF) on methane gas production from fermented rice straw using urea and urine. The material in this study was used included eight indigenous rams aged ± 1.5 years with a weight of ± 20 kg. The feed provided consisted of concentrate and rice straw fermented with urea (P1) and rice straw fermented with urine (P2). Feed was given twice daily, and water was provided ad libitum. Data collection of digestible crude protein and digestible crude fiber was conducted by total collection method in metabolic cages for 7 days, while methane gas production measurement was conducted for 2 x 24 hours. The results showed differences in correlation values between the two types of treatments. Treatment with rice straw fermented with urea had correlation values of 0.937 for digestible crude protein and 0.507 for digestible crude fiber with coefficient of determination values of 87.9% for DCP and 25.7% for DCF. Meanwhile, in the treatment with rice straw fermented with urine, the correlation values were -0.632 for DCP and -0.991 for DCF with coefficient of determination values of 40.0% for DCP and 98.3% for DCF. The conclusion from this research is that the difference in correlation values is caused by the nitrogen source used for fermentation and the presence of accompanying compounds found in cattle urine used for rice straw fermentation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the social, economic, and environmental impacts of the implementation of a biogas program based on the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach in five sub-districts in Boyolali Regency. Using a participatory approach, the study involved 10 respondents who actively use biogas installations. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The results showed that the biogas program drove significant changes in energy consumption patterns, with 30% of respondents switching entirely to biogas, and 50% combining it with LPG. In addition, 80% of respondents used bio-slurry as organic fertilizer, which resulted in increased soil fertility and more efficient chemical fertilizer use. From an economic perspective, 50% of respondents managed to save up to 80% of their monthly energy costs, and 30% saved up to 100%. The program's satisfaction level reached 100%, with 80% stating they were very satisfied. The program also increased community environmental awareness through the utilization of livestock waste and emission reduction. These findings confirm that the ABCD approach is effective in building energy independence based on local potential and encouraging community behavioral changes towards sustainable

Abstract

Rice bran, an important byproduct of the milling process, has enormous potential as a source of local feed ingredients. This research aims to evaluate the physical quality and organoleptic parameters of rice bran to ensure the availability of quality local feed. The research method used is the survey method with a purposive sampling technique, and the data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The findings of this study are expected to provide insights into the optimal use of rice bran in animal feed formulations. By assessing its nutritional value and overall quality, this research could contribute to more sustainable feeding practices in the local agriculture sector. The results show that the best physical quality of rice bran is found in the sub-districts of Panyipatan, Bajuin, and Batu Ampar, which meet the ideal specific gravity and bulk density ranges for use as feed ingredients. In contrast, Tambang Ulang and Kurau have relatively lower values for some parameters, requiring further processing before optimal application. Rice bran from most sub-districts in Tanah Laut Regency is considered suitable for use as feed raw material.

Abstract

This experiment aims to evaluate the effectiveness of inoculation and synergy of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and Trichoderma harzianum on the growth, productivity, and effectiveness of inoculation of Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) forage in marginal land in the early phase of the first regrowth. This experiment used biological agents, mycorrhizae, and Trichoderma. This study used a completely randomised design with a one-way pattern consisting of four treatments and five replications, namely T0: without inoculation; T1: Mycorrhizae 300 spores/polybag; T2: Trichoderma 5 grams, 1 × 106 spores/gram; T3: Combination of Mycorrhizae 300 spores/polybag and Trichoderma 5 grams, 1 × 106 spores/gram. Data were analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results showed that AMF inoculation in treatment T1 had a significant effect (p <0.05) on plant length (cm), number of branches (strands per branch), fresh biomass of the canopy and the effectiveness of inoculation. Treatments T2 and T3 were not significantly different from T0 (p>0.05) regarding plant length, but the number of branches differed. T2 and T3 showed significant differences (p<0.05), which were higher than the control, but not with the results of fresh shoot biomass and inoculation effectiveness. T2 gave insignificant results and was not better than treatments T1 and T3. Mycorrhizal inoculation T1 positively responded to plant growth, fresh shoot biomass and inoculation effectiveness under drought stress, although the combination treatment T3 also provided good feedback.

Abstract

Artificial insemination (AI) in buffaloes in Indonesia still faces challenges, one of which is the low quality of frozen semen due to improper thawing processes. Buffalo semen has physiological advantages, but it is also more susceptible to damage during thawing and cryopreservation processes. Previous studies have shown that thawing time affects sperm motility. This study aims to determine the effect of thawing time on buffalo semen quality in order to improve AI success rates. This study used 20 straws of frozen buffalo semen with an experimental research method and data analysis using RAK, consisting of 4 treatments (P1: 30 seconds, P2: 60 seconds, P3: 90 seconds, P4: 120 seconds) and 5 replicates. The observation parameters were PTM (Post Thawing Motility), viability, abnormality, MPU (Membrane Plasma Integrity), and TAU (Acrosome Cap Integrity). The results showed that the mean values of PTM, viability, abnormality, MPU, and TAU of the four treatments were not significantly different (P>0.05). These results indicate that thawing frozen buffalo semen for up to 120 seconds (2 minutes) at a temperature of 370? can still maintain the viability, abnormalities, MPU count, and TAU count of buffalo sperm before insemination. There is a tendency for the PTM and MPU counts in the 120-second thawing treatment to be higher than in the other treatments. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that thawing for 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, and 120 seconds did not produce significant differences in PTM, viability, abnormalities, MPU, and TAU of frozen buffalo semen, so thawing up to 120 seconds can still be done.

Abstract

Quail are egg-producing poultry known for their highly nutritious eggs and affordable price, making them popular among the general public. However, challenges in quail farming lie in feed efficiency and improving egg quality. One effort to address these challenges is the use of natural feed additives, such as moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera) and bilimbi fruit (Averrhoa bilimbi L.), which have potential as sources of natural antioxidants and bioactive compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of moringa leaf powder supplementation in the feed, combined with bilimbi fruit extract in drinking water, on quail egg quality. The study used 180 female quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) aged 20 weeks, in a feeding trial using a 2 × 3 factorial completely randomized design (CRD). The treatments consisted of two levels of moringa leaf powder (0% and 3%) and three levels of bilimbi extract (0%, 2.5%, and 5%), with three replications each. Observed parameters included egg weight, egg index, albumen index, yolk index, and Haugh Unit value. The analysis showed no significant interaction between moringa leaf and bilimbi extract supplementation on egg weight and egg index (P>0.05). These findings suggest that moringa leaf inclusion in feed has the potential to improve egg weight, although its effectiveness is influenced by dosage and interaction with other additives.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the quality of frozen buffalo semen after adding Beta-carotene or glycerol to the tris egg yolk diluent on the quality of frozen buffalo semen. The study used 14 straws of frozen semen from mud buffaloes originating from BIB Tuah Sakato, Ibuh Payakumbuh. The experimental research method with data analysis used a completely randomized design with 7 treatments and 2 replicates: P0 without the addition of Beta-carotene or glycerol, treatment with the addition of Beta-carotene to egg yolk tris (TKT) at concentrations: P1 0.1%, P2. 0.2%, P3 0.3%, and Glycerol at concentrations: P4 2%, P5 4%, and P6 6%. The equipment and materials used included: a microscope, computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA), object glass, cover glass, 14 straws of frozen buffalo semen, citrate, egg yolk, HOS solution, and eosin-nigrosin dye. The parameters observed after the thawing process were the percentages of motility, viability, MPU, and abnormalities in frozen semen. The results of the study showed the average sperm motility in order, namely P1 57.79 ± 5.30, P4 57.71 ± 9.01, P0 54.62 ± 8.92, P5 51.47 ± 5.80, P2 49.28 ± 7.59, P3 25.45 ± 1.21, and P6 25.03 ± 1.21. Treatments P3 and P6 significantly (P < 0.05) reduced sperm motility after thawing. Meanwhile, viability, MPU, and abnormality did not show significant differences (P > 0.05) between treatments. From these data, it can be concluded that the addition of Beta-carotene at concentrations of 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3% compared to the addition of glycerol at 2%, 4%, 6% in the egg yolk tris diluent, both significantly (P < 0.05) affected motility and did not significantly (P > 0.05) affect viability, intact plasma membrane, and abnormalities in frozen buffalo semen. The addition of Beta-carotene up to 0.2% or glycerol up to 4% was able to maintain post-thawing motility (PTM) above 40%.
